The Background
Paul Kitterman is part of the team at material solutions provider Jewson Partnership Solutions (JPS) – which is a dedicated branch that serves the Pinewood and Shepperton film and TV studios and supplies materials for use on the various sets and stages.
In October 2021, he thought he had a bad back – which got worse. So he went to A&E, where he collapsed and was diagnosed with a spinal abscess, which has since left him paralysed from the waist down.
Paul has made remarkable progress and has been able to return to work in an administrative role, but he’s sleeping in the dining room of his family’s modest three-bedroom house in Surrey. There are no facilities, and he is in desperate need of a new ground-floor bedroom with a wet room and toilet, which will help restore his dignity.
The Project
What an incredible journey this has been — a mammoth project, completed in just 20 days!
It started and stopped a few times, but once we got going, there was no slowing down. The team pulled together through every challenge and the result? A life-changing transformation for Paul and his family.
With an initial lead time of four weeks, what this team achieved in just 20 days is nothing short of remarkable.
A dedicated crew of groundworkers, bricklayers, builders, roofers, plumbers, electricians, plasterers and other skilled tradespeople came together to transform the land beside Paul and Sasha’s home into a purpose built extension — complete with a fully accessible bedroom and wet room.
This space now offers Paul the accessibility, dignity and comfort he deserves.
Thank you to every single person who gave their time, skill, and heart to make this happen!
